Whatever happened to the man from Atlantis?

There have been a ton of retro show re runs over the years, but I don’t ever recall seeing The Man From Atlanis. That was a cool show. Must have pissed him off that because of his webbed hands he could never wear gloves. Remember the episode where the Man from Atlantis was lying back in a lounger reading a magazine on the bottom of a pool? Genius. Straight after the show I went and chucked mums big metal framed lime plastic banana lounger in our pool, sunk it to the bottom and weighed myself in place with a couple of rocks. The old man hit the roof when he found out because the lounger scrapped the plaster and when I tried to read mums Woman’s Weekly it just fell to pieces and clogged the filter. Disaster.
Speaking of retro shows, remember episodes where characters from another show would make guest apperances? Mork from Mork and Mindy on Happy Days. That was weird. The sci fi thing was popular because the Flinstones and the Jetsons visited each other as well.
Speaking of the Flinstones. Do you think Fred could kick Hommer Simpsons arse? Easy I reckon. Plus he’d have Barney to back him up. Who would Hommer have? Ned? Maybe with Mo he would stand a chance but that Barney looks like a nuggety little dude. And hung like a stallion if the smile on Betty’s face was ever anything to go on. Starsky and Hutch meeting Bo and Luke Duke. That would have been a cool episode. If they had a fight I reckon Starsky and Hutch would kick the Dukes good old boy arses. Starsky and Hutch were from the mean streets, Bo and Luke were pussies. But there would never have been any problems. The cops from the big city would have played it really cool with the two cousins because they would have been too busy trying to get into Daisy Dukes pants. Not that there was a lot to get into eh.
